Capt. Eric Tyler, Steve, and Dave
It is Tyler’s B-day. Him and his friends Steve and Dave were up to catch some big fish. I have known Tyler since he was 3 or 4 now he is 15. Wow years go by pretty fast. My daughter is almost 15 as well. Well any way the weather was windy. With a huge cold front approaching, it was going to be close before the rain was to hit. We left from the Sebastian Inlet at 4 p.m. and set off to catch our bait. It was tough, we went 7 or 8 spots before we finally got into the pins.
It was dark and time to fish. The tide was the end of incoming and the wind was NW. The drift was pretty much at a stand still. We fished for a bit, Steve was first to hook up and the first to lose one. Once we started to move with our drift we started to hook up. Tyler was 1st to hook up and land a big Redfish. The bite was on the Reds were there. Steve and Dave each caught a nice Red. Tyler ended with 3 Redfish. Steve lost a big fish, I think it was a Goliath. The tide was starting to move out and there was a swell coming through so we had to fish the fenders. Tyler caught 2 small snook with pins. The storm was getting close and it was time to get out of there. We got some good pictures on the night. Happy B-day Tyler !
